McDermott was a very good pace bowler(but not great),never saw McKenzie,Vaas on his day is more dangerous than Dev mostly was,I think Srinath was a better bowler than Dev,and I think caddick was as well to be perfectly honest

Yeah, right !!

I have seen all of those bowlers except McKenzie and I don't think any of those measure up to Kapil. Look at the consistency of Kapil and look at Srinath's for example...Srinath was a "on his day..." type of bowler and quite ordinary at other times.Same goes for Caddick. McDermott developed into a decent bowler towards the end of his career but initially he could be thrashed by even someone like Raman Lamba(if you know what I mean....I have seen pretty much all his career and except towards the end, he was pretty ordinary. Also he was aided by having a chance to bowl at bouncy pitches most of the time. Have you seen Kapil early in his career where he could was devastating...just one example, check out some footage from the 1981 Melbourne test between Indian and Australia or the India-WI test at Kanpur in 1983... I could give you so many more examples, but I guess if you haven't seen much of him, its a moot point.

yeah and so do you remember how the MCG pitch used to play in the early 80's...an absolute shocker

What about William Ponsford? Only man (except Lara) to have two FC 400s.

Its Bill Ponsford. He was, with the exception of the 1934 ashes series, like an upgraded Graeme Hick. In first-class cricket he was second to one (Bradman), but struggled at the top level if you take that series away. Managed partnerships of 388 and 451 with Bradman in successive matches, which is a truely immense achievement, but before that series he only averaged 40.86.
